There isn’t much to most 50s so to winterize them all you usually need to do is change the oil and then start it every couple of weeks throughout the winter. Because the TTR50 is electric start you’ll need to remove the battery and hook it to a battery tender so it doesn’t loose its charge.

Things you’ll need:

• 10mm socket or wrench
• Phillips screwdriver

If you look under the rear fender you’ll see 2 10mm bolts. Use your 10mm socket or wrench and remove them but be careful not to loose the spacers that are attached. 906

Once the 2 bolts are removed you can lift the rear fender up several inches and pull it straight off the back of the bike. 916

At this point you should see the battery covered by a plastic shroud. There are 2 Phillips head bolts that hold the shroud in place; you’ll need to use your screwdriver to remove them. 920

There is also a rubber grommet that sticks through a hold in the shroud. You can pull the shroud off of the bike without worrying about breaking anything. You can see the rubber at the bottom left of the shroud in this picture: 924

Put your fingers behind the rubber strap and lift the silver loop off of the vertical post holding it. 928

Now just remove the battery. 932
